🦷 The Dental Connection to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is more than just snoring—it’s a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing pauses in breathing and reduced oxygen levels. Untreated, it can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
🔎 Why Dentists Get Involved
Dentists are often the first to notice signs of OSA, such as:
• Teeth grinding (bruxism)
• Scalloped tongue edges
• Narrow airway anatomy
• Reports of loud snoring, morning headaches, or daytime fatigue
🛠 Treatment Options
The standard treatment for OSA has long been the CPAP machine. While effective, CPAP is bulky, noisy, and not always easy—or “sexy”—to sleep with. Many patients struggle with compliance and stop using it altogether.
That’s where dentistry makes a difference. A custom oral appliance can reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. These devices are:
✔ Comfortable
✔ Travel-friendly
✔ Easy to use
✔ Quiet and discreet
💡 Take the Next Step
